And settle was what Enki did, ankles crossed, one hand on the shoulder he wasn't sitting on, but considering Shōryū's pace, he hardly needed that steadying influence. Maybe there was some way of making sure all kings would carry their kirin around like this. Would serve them right.
But then, Enki remembered not all kirin and king pairs were as matched as they were.
"To fight," Enki spat, bile rising up in his throat again. He'd observed two battles; the first one to see how they worked, the second only accidentally. "There will be an introduction, later, for the new ones... or for people who're just stupid." Enki couldn't help it, really, but having to consider the battles were unsettling him, and he had to make up for that somehow.
"But, simply... They've taken memories, and somehow allow a select few to draw weapons from the chests of the others. The weapons inflict pain but no real injuries. Those able to draw weapons are supposed to fight each other." Enki said, face drawn and voice sharp, and a glare at nothing in particular thrown out in front of him.
